ampersand (símbolo "&")

Does the Ampersand exist in Spanish and, if not, what could you substitute it with? I am translating the symbols for the Morse Code for a children's book and the Ampersand is one of them so I am unsure as to whether I should leave it out all together or just indicate that in Spanish it would be just "y" (as in Lord y Taylor en vez de Lord & Taylor).

To help out with some clarification,
I was on a conference call with a Dr. in Guatemala and he was dictating some information for an Ebay transaction. In the conversation he stated " i comercial", I had never heard of it so I politely asked him what he meant by that, "i comercial". He described it as the character above the number seven on the keyboard.
hope this helps.

The only use for '&' in Spanish is within a commercial name: 'Martínez & Cía.' or 'Sebastián Rago & Asociados'
It is red as 'Marínez y compañía'. That is why it is called 'y comercial'. But most people do not know it, and use the English name 'ampersand'
I think that before Internet and e-mail, most people would not know that '@' is called 'arroba'

Yes, the symbol @, which is used in English for "at", in Spanish is a symbol of weight- "arroba"- 25 pounds. I have heard a lot of people use it in Spanish for internet addresses as "aroba", which is incorrect, it must be be pronounced "arroba", with the two r's.

Wikipedia: The word arroba has its origin in Arabic ar-rubʿ (الربع), the fourth part (of a quintal), the term defined the load that a donkey or mule could carry.[1]

Arroba was a Portuguese and Spanish customary unit of weight, mass or volume. Its symbol is @. In weight it was equal to 32 pounds (14.7 kg) in Portugal and 25pounds (11.5 kg) in Spain.
